Lost in the Shuffle

Few words today . . . just a small selection of images.  I found them on a card–I took them three weeks ago.  Whoops! Totally love the ones of Sawyer and Carter on the couch at the bottom.  Nothing fancy.  Just life 🙂

Five Week Low Down

Sawyer was five weeks old a couple of days ago.  At the doctors yesterday, he was 9 lbs, 8 oz, which is perfect–he’s doing well and we’re thrilled.  Brayden was still bigger at birth than Sawyer is now, but hey, they’re each different, right?  By this time next year, Sawyer might weigh as much as […]

Junk

I am a phase kind of girl when it comes to many things.  It usually takes me a little bit to work up to the point where I am about to enter said phase, and then once I’m there, BAM, there’s no turning back until I’m done with the phase.  For example, working out and […]

My Apprentice

James is my little photography apprentice.  He has shot almost sixty weddings with me, which is incredible.  At first, I used to bring him along for moral support, so that I didn’t have to spend all day, alone and wondering what on earth I was doing.  That’s definitely how I felt in the beginning.  Now, […]

One Month In

The thoughts that are going through my mind right now, I remember having with Carter as well.  The first month of his life is gone, and I have no idea where it went.  If time with your first child flies like the wind, time with your second child goes by at lightning speed, I have […]

Too Far!

My dad and stepmom live a bit too far away for our liking.  We rarely see them, which is a shame–usually only about once a year.  So we have to make up for lost time when we get together! They decided to make the fourteen hour trek to our house to meet Sawyer and spend […]

Shea [Rochester, NY Baby Photographer]

I loved seeing this family before my maternity leave began.  Their little one is incredible, and she’s getting to be a little baby model–with her perfect baby blue’s and her sweet demeanor.  Her mom brought about ten outfits for the session, and I totally loved it.  We were able to use so many of them […]

Itty Bitty

There’s nothing itty bitty about our babies.  But four weeks after Sawyer has been in this world, he’s now definitely itty bitty.  Starting at 9lbs, 2 oz, dropping down to 8 lbs flat and then taking a solid week to get the ball rolling, he’s now only between the 20th-30th percentile for wee ones his […]

AJ [Rochester, NY Children’s Photographer]

There are quite a few sessions that I never blogged before I went on maternity leave, and I think now is a good time to finish blogging them before I pick up with new sessions again in a few weeks!  This little munchkin was about to celebrate his first birthday, back during our session a […]

Ten Years Ago.

Rewind: Sophomore Year of College- 2000 The athletic training room at Roberts Wesleyan College holds some of my very first memories of James Chase.  I vividly remember commenting on a pair of Red Nike sandals that he had (that matched our school’s colors).  Over the next few weeks, we chit chatted enough, and I must […]
